Team-CBT and Tickets

You are invited to join us for this two-day intensive TEAM-CBT masterclass which will enhance your professional practice. You will learn an exciting new approach to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), developed by a pioneer in the field, Dr David Burns. With a focus on working with anxiety, highly experienced trainers from the USA (Dr Leigh Harrington & Elizabeth Dandenell) will lead the masterclass and will be joined by trainers from the UK to teach the full TEAM-CBT framework in the context of working with anxiety. CBT techniques have had tremendous impact around the world since the 1970s. Numerous research studies have demonstrated its efficacy. The structure of TEAM-CBT creates opportunities to make it even more effective.

TEAM-CBT is not a new “school” of therapy, but rather is a framework for conducting measurement-based therapy that is proven to be more effective than traditional therapy. T.E.A.M. is an acronym for the four crucial ingredients of effective therapy known to improve treatment outcomes: Testing, Empathy, Agenda-Setting, and Methods. TEAM-CBT is thus an evolution of CBT that can lead to extremely rapid recovery. If you’d like to learn about this new approach and boost your therapist skills, then please do join us where you will also earn 14 CPD points as well as automatic qualification for Level 1 TEAM-CBT certification.

Due to the nature of this TEAM-CBT masterclass, places are limited – so please book early.
‘Early-bird’ Cost (until Friday April 12th): €210 – to include coffee breaks & lunch on both days.
Cost after April 12th is €240.

Afternoon workshop: Exercise Management in Eating Disorders

Kate Brown
(Advanced Specialist Physiotherapist, Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust)

and Anna Paterson
(Clinical Lead Physiotherapist, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, Wales)

The issue of dysfunctional exercise and energy mismanagement and the role it plays, for example, in body image is a rarely addressed topic in working with eating disorders. It can be an extremely difficult issue to deal with and without expert guidance can leave individuals, families, and health care professionals at a loss regarding appropriate advice in this area. Two physiotherapists who will lead the afternoon workshop have extensive experience in this area and have been significantly involved in the recent UK publication of a comprehensive guideline that can help to navigate the pitfalls of exercise management in eating disorders. Kate and Anna will present a practical programme based on research for adolescents and adults that is designed to help health care workers improve their skills in designing appropriate exercise plans for eating disorders management. This workshop will be of benefit to health care workers, those with lived experience of eating disorders and their families.
